Batch Enable Disable

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=false, and idempotentHint=false. The description adds no behavioral context beyond what annotations and schema already provide—no auth needs, side effects, rate limits, or clarification of the questionable idempotentHint=false.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single front-loaded sentence with zero waste. It states the operation, batch nature, and scope compactly.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description covers the core operation and scope, and the rich schema plus output schema reduce the burden. However, it omits usage guidance, sibling differentiation, and the conditional dependency that track_type and track_index are required when target='track'.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all four parameters, including enums and conditional requirements. The description mentions target options but adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema; baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (enable/disable), resource (multiple clips), and scope (selected, track, all). It implicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling single-clip tool 'enable_disable_clip' through 'multiple clips at once,' but does not explicitly name that alternative.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and no alternatives are named. The scope options hint at batch scenarios, but there is no explicit context or prerequisite information for choosing this tool over siblings like enable_disable_clip or set_clip_properties_batch.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
